Well looking at the weather + family commitments, I decided to do my bit for National Moth Night's last night as it seemed mild enough.
I woke up to torrential rain and a strong wind, so the catch was pretty much hampered by that.
But....
I managed to trap my first ever Small Angle Shades (where have you been the last 5 years?!) I am over the moon as it is supposed to be a common species here.
Other things of note were the amount of Hawk-moths in the trap, with 5x Privet, 3x Poplar, 2x Elephant and 1x Pine.
